Great shot, though I wish it were a little closer to the castle. It looks like such a beautiful place!

Très bien avec les promeneurs - bien composé. (Plus de mystère, mais toujours bien le magi).

I think a little tighter crop might help this image. I would like to see more of details of the architecture and less of the foreground.

Very interesting place. Well suited for this challenge I would think. The way this image is put together feels more like a touristy snapshot than an artistic approach - the tour bus and vehicles parked on the road, the various groups of people, etc... - perhaps another time of day before or after visiting hours? Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like this view of ? where I don't know. Interesting to see this place. I think it could of had a bit of color boost (depth) or perhaps b&w? You met the challenge! Good luck.

I like the composition and it does look like a magical place. The people in the bottom left really adds tot he shot. Only thing is it looks a little flat and dull on my monitor, like it needs more contrast.

I think it needs to be shot much closer with a much tigheter crop ... the people in the foreground ruin it for me ...

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi Gennaro,

This is, as others have previously commented, a lovely still simple shot. There is no doubt that you met the challenge. In addition there is nothing technically wrong. The question therefore is why didn't this do better.

I can think of two potential reasons. The first is the colour tones - these are a little bit flat across the image. The surface of the water allow very little scope for texture and depth. The second is that the composition, although simple, is not easy on the eyes. Nothing draws the eye in. the kink where the pole meets its reflection is somehow jarring to the eye.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul
